beauty and mystery (at Sunken Garden- St. Petersburg, FL )

I love all of the flowers and I love the trees

AND somehow it is the walkways and paths that call to me

Beautiful, yet mysterious…

what is up ahead?

what is around that bend?

what beauty awaits?

She was such a sweety!  She was flirting with me and even though the sign said not to touch or feed...and warned that she bites... she likes pets and scratches :)

Brian and I went to Sunken Gardens this weekend…while I am no photographer we took a bunch of cell phone pictures I feel compelled to share some.  I will be dividing them up into a few posts 🙂  Hope you enjoy!
